Lockout/Tagout Procedure (LOTO)
Energy control procedures to protect workers from hazardous energy during equipment maintenance.
About This Template
The Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Procedure Template is required by OSHA 1910.147 to protect workers from hazardous energy during equipment servicing and maintenance. This template documents machine-specific procedures for safely shutting down, isolating, and de-energizing equipment, then verifying zero energy state before maintenance begins. LOTO prevents tragic accidents caused by unexpected equipment startup, energy release, or stored energy. The procedure includes all energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, chemical), specific lockout points, verification steps, and controlled restart processes.
